The wound healing process requires protein that can be obtained from fish as a basic nutrient for cell formation. The availability of fish in Indonesia is very high, but the national fish consumption rate is low. The purpose of this study was to analyze the difference in the speed of perineal wound healing in postpartum mothers with protein intake from snakehead fish and mackarel tuna fish. <strong>Method</strong><strong>:</strong> This study used a quasi-experimental design with a post-test only control group design approach. The number of samples used was 48 respondents who were selected using simple random sampling and divided into three groups. <strong>Result:</strong> The results of the Kruskal Wallis analysis showed a P value of 0.036, so it can be concluded that there is at least an effect of providing intervention on perineal wound healing. The highest wound healing ranking was in the snakehead fish group with a value of 20.45, then the mackarel tuna fish group 16.45 and the control group 9.60. <strong>Conclusion :</strong> So mothers who have perineal stitches are advised to increase their protein consumption from either snakehead fish or mackarel tuna fish as an alternative to accelerate the perineal wound healing process.</p>2025-03-16T00:00:00+07:00Copyright (c) 2025 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MIDWIFERY RESEARCHhttps://ijmr.iiknutuban.ac.id/index.php/ijmr/article/view/73NON-COMPLIANCE OF BLOOD SUPPLEMENT TABLETS CONSUMPTION AMONG ADOLESCENT GIRLS IN SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL 1 KEPAHIANG, BENGKULU PROVINCE, INDONESIA2024-12-09T12:39:54+07:00Tasya Dwi Damayantitasyadwidama@gmail.comNoviantinovianti@unib.ac.idNeng Kurniatinkurniati@unib.ac.idDara Himalayadhimalaya@unib.ac.idLinda Yulyanilinda.yulyani@gmail.com<p><strong>Background</strong>: Anemia remains a significant concern, particularly among adolescent girls in Indonesia. To combat this, one of the key strategies implemented has been the regular weekly distribution of blood supplement tablets, which requires consistent consumption to be effective. Unfortunately, adherence to this regimen remains low. Knowledge is recognized as a crucial factor in influencing behavioral changes. <strong>Method</strong><strong>:</strong> This study explores the correlation between the level of knowledge and adherence to consuming blood supplement tablets among adolescent girls at SMAN 1 Kepahiang, Bengkulu Province, Indonesia. This study employed a quantitative analytic design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 219 adolescent girls at SMAN 1 Kepahiang <strong>Result:</strong> The findings revealed that most participants had a poor level of knowledge, with 188 respondents (85.8%) falling into this category. A smaller proportion, 25 respondents (11.4%), demonstrated sufficient knowledge, while only 6 (2.7%) exhibited good knowledge. In terms of compliance with taking blood supplement tablets, 208 respondents (95.0%) were non-compliant, and just 11 (5.0%) were compliant. The Spearman rank analysis showed a p-value of 0.000 (which is less than 0.05) and an r-coefficient of 0.598, indicating a strong relationship. <strong>Conclusion :</strong> The level of knowledge correlates with the compliance of adolescent girls in consuming blood supplement tablets with strong relationship. Schools are advised to increase cooperation with related parties to evaluate and monitor the sustainability of the program and develop programs towards mentoring with various media approaches to adolescent girls.</p>2025-03-16T00:00:00+07:00Copyright (c) 2025 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MIDWIFERY RESEARCHhttps://ijmr.iiknutuban.ac.id/index.php/ijmr/article/view/93SPICY FOOD AS A TRIGGERING FACTOR FOR DYSPEPSIA IN FEMALE ADOLESCENTS AT SMP NEGERI 3 TUBAN2025-04-14T15:15:42+07:00Moh. Ubaidillah Faqihmoh.ubaidillah.faqih@gmail.comKusno Feriantokusnof@gmail.comTiara Putri Ryandinitiara.putriryandini16@gmail.comSetiya Husadasetiyahusada27@gmail.com<p><strong>Background:</strong> Dyspepsia syndrome is a common digestive disorder among adolescents, particularly females, and is influenced by dietary habits, including spicy food consumption. Spicy foods contain capsaicin, which can increase stomach acid production and irritate the gastric mucosa, potentially triggering dyspepsia symptoms. This study aims to examine the relationship between spicy food consumption and dyspepsia syndrome among female students at SMP Negeri 3 Tuban. <strong>Method:</strong> This study employed a descriptive correlational design with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 105 female students were selected using cluster sampling. Spicy food consumption was assessed using a Likert-scale questionnaire, while dyspepsia symptoms were measured using the Postprandial Distress Syndrome (PDS) scale. Data analysis was conducted using Spearman’s correlation test. <strong>Results:</strong> The study found that 60% of respondents had a moderate level of spicy food consumption, while 65.7% experienced moderate dyspepsia symptoms. Statistical analysis showed a significant positive correlation between spicy food consumption and dyspepsia syndrome (p = 0.000, r = 0.410), indicating that higher spicy food consumption increases the likelihood of dyspepsia symptoms. <strong>Conclusion:</strong> There is a significant relationship between spicy food consumption and dyspepsia syndrome among female students. It is recommended that adolescents regulate their spicy food intake and adopt a balanced diet to prevent digestive issues. Schools and families should provide education on healthy eating habits to reduce the risk of dyspepsia.</p> <p><strong>Keywords:</strong> spicy food, dyspepsia syndrome, adolescents, dietary habits</p>2025-03-16T00:00:00+07:00Copyright (c) 2025 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MIDWIFERY RESEARCHhttps://ijmr.iiknutuban.ac.id/index.php/ijmr/article/view/85RED GUAVA JUICE AND IRON SUPPLEMENTATION ON PREGNANT WOMEN’S HEMOGLOBIN LEVEL 2024-12-09T12:47:40+07:00Retno Sugestisugestiretno44@gmail.comTukimin Bin Sansuwitotukimin@lincoln.edu.myHidayani Hidayanihidayani.uima@gmail.comDesy Sulistiyorinidesy.sulistiyorini@yahoo.com<p>Background: Administering iron tablets (Fe) is one of the measures implemented to prevent anemia. Guava, a fruit abundant in vitamin C, possesses the ability to enhance the absorption of Fe in the human body. The objective of this research is to analyze the impact of providing Fe tablets in conjunction with guava juice on the elevation of Hb levels in pregnant women at the South Tangerang Region Health Center. Methods: This study employed a quasi-experimental two group pre-post design. The sample consisted of 30 pregnant women in their third trimester who were diagnosed with anemia and were divided into two groups: the treatment group and the control group. Purposive sampling was utilized as the sampling technique. Data analysis involved Independent T-test. Results: The outcomes demonstrated a significant disparity in the elevation of Hb levels resulting from the administration of Fe tablets combined with guava juice compared to the sole administration of Fe tablets, with a p-value of 0.000. Conclusion: Consequently, the findings indicate that the administration of Fe tablets in conjunction with guava juice exerts an influence on the elevation of Hb levels in pregnant women. Therefore, it is advisable for pregnant women with anemia to consume Fe tablets along with guava juice</p>2025-03-16T00:00:00+07:00Copyright (c) 2025 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MIDWIFERY RESEARCHhttps://ijmr.iiknutuban.ac.id/index.php/ijmr/article/view/80THE EFFECT OF GIVING PEPPERMINT AROMATHERAPY ON THE INCIDENT OF EMESIS GRAVIDARUM ON TRIMESTER 1 PREGNANT WOMEN AT TPMB RAHMADINA TUBAN2024-12-09T12:44:40+07:00Nonik Fatmawatinonikfatma01@gmail.comUmu Qonitunumuqonitun@gmail.com<p><strong>Background</strong>: Nausea and vomiting are one of the signs and symptoms of pregnancy that commonly occur in pregnant women. 50-90% of pregnant women experience nausea in the first trimester. Continuous nausea and vomiting can cause the mother to lack nutrition, thereby inhibiting the growth and development of the fetus. Non-pharmacological management of nausea and vomiting during pregnancy can use aromatherapy. Aromatherapy that can be used comes from a type of citrus, namely peppermint, because it contains antispasmodic charismatic effects. <strong>Objectives</strong>: This study aims to determine the effect of giving peppermint aromatherapy on the incidence of emesis gravidarum in pregnant women in the first trimester at TPMB Rahmadina Tuban. <strong>Methods</strong>: The research design used in this research is quantitative "pre-experimental" using the research method "one-group pre-post test design". The subject group was observed before the intervention (pre-test), then observed again after the intervention (post-test). The population of this study was 20 pregnant women in the 1st trimester at TPMB Rahmadina Tuban who were selected using a simple random sampling technique, obtaining a sample of 16 pregnant women in the 1st trimester with complaints of nausea and vomiting. <strong>Result: </strong>The results of the research conducted showed that before being given peppermint aromatherapy, the majority of 13 (81.25%) pregnant women experienced moderate nausea and vomiting. After being given peppermint aromatherapy, the majority of 12 (75%) pregnant women experienced mild nausea and vomiting. The results of the Wilcoxon sign rank test with a significance level of α=<0.05 obtained a value of = 0.001<0.05, which means that H1 was accepted, namely that there is an effect of giving peppermint aromatherapy on the incidence of emesis gravidarum in pregnant women in the 1st trimester. <strong>Conclusion: </strong>From the description above, it can be concluded that peppermint aromatherapy has an effect on the incidence of emesis gravidarum (in pregnant women in the 1st trimester at TPMB Rahmadina Tuban.</p>2025-03-16T00:00:00+07:00Copyright (c) 2025 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MIDWIFERY RESEARCH
